Which word does NOT belong with the others? tyre, steering wheel, engine, car

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: car

Explanation:

Given data

  • Word list: tyre, steering wheel, engine, car.

Concept/ApproachIdentify parts versus whole. Three items are components; one is the complete vehicle.

Step-by-Step reasoning Tyre – component (part of the wheel assembly). Steering wheel – component for directional control. Engine – power unit (component). Car – the whole object that contains those components.

Verification/AlternativeAsk: Can the item exist as a subassembly inside a car? Tyre, steering wheel, and engine can; the car is the container.

Common pitfalls

  • Picking engine because it seems more complex—complexity is irrelevant; categorization (part vs. whole) is key.
